Developing Artifact Peer Review Assignment Methodologies to Maximize the Value of Peer Review for Students
PI Matthew Verleger
This engineering education research project seeks to develop a proof-of-concept peer review matching algorithm and demonstrate if it is a valuable and viable methodology for conducting peer review. Peer review is a proven method that has positive impact on student learning. The project will test the algorithm on Model Eliciting Activities in the engineering classroom, and investigate how changing peer review can affect student learning.

Platform for Investigating Concept Networks on the Instrumentality of Knowledge (PICNIK)
PI Matthew Verleger
This engineering education research project seeks to develop a concept network for engineering and a platform for helping students identify how concepts are connected across a curriculum. The goal is to better understand and improve how students value the concepts being taught throughout their education.

Small UAS (sUAS) Mid-Air Collision (MAC) Likelihood
PI Ryan Wallace
CO-I Dothang Truong
CO-I Scott Winter
CO-I David Cross
This research focuses on sUAS MAC likelihood analysis with general aviation (GA) and commercial aircraft. Because severity research varies based on where a collision occurred on a manned aircraft, this likelihood research will not only look at the probability of a MAC, but also the likelihood of colliding with different parts of a manned aircraft.

Best practices in teaching statistics and research methods within an aviation curriculum
PI Robert Walton
Student learning assessment is necessary at most universities, the question is whether or not student learning assessment though the use of tests can be turned into a less anxiety-provoking experience and, most ideally, into a summative learning experience for students. Using a three-test format student assessment this research examined an alternate testing paradigm, aiming directly at anxiety associated with tests and grades.

Air Traffic Controllers’ Occupational Stress and Performance in the Future Air Traffic Management
PI Hui Wang
CO-I Edward Mummert
As demand for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations increases, it is vital to understand its effects on air traffic controllers and the safety of the national airspace system. This study’s primary purpose is to determine how UAVs that operate in controlled airspace would influence air traffic controllers’ occupational stress and performance. In a within-subject experimental research design, 24 participants sampled from a university’s undergraduate Air Traffic Management (ATM) program completed three different air traffic control (ATC) scenarios on an en-route ATC simulation system. The degree of UAV automation and control were varied in each scenario. The participants’ stress levels, performance, and workload were measured with both objective and subjective measurements. Within-subjects ANOVA tests showed significant effects on the participants’ stress level, performance, and workload when automated UAVs were present in the scenario. Participants experienced increased workload, the highest level of stress, and carried out the worst performance when with controllable UAVs in the airspace. These findings can inform UAV integration into controlled airspace and future research into UAV automation and control and ATC management.

Safety Systems, Culture, and Passengers’ Willingness to Fly in Autonomous Air Taxis
PI Kenneth Ward
CO-I Scott Winter
As city populations grow, the transportation industry plans to alleviate traffic congestion by introducing the urban air mobility (UAM) concept, in which small passenger and cargo aircraft augment metropolitan transportation networks. A key component of UAM is that of air taxis, which are on-demand air services for individuals and small groups. In addition, UAM companies are designing the aircraft to operate fully autonomously: The intent is for the vehicles to arrive and transport people from point to point without input from human pilots.
